Fremont Real Estate

Fremont is a community unique in the Bay area, in that it is composed of five separate smaller towns that were previously established in the area. As such, it has combined the uniqueness of each of these towns into its larger presence. In 1956, Fremont was incorporated as a result of a merger with Centerville, Niles, Mission San Jose, Irvington and Warm Springs. It is a very large city as a result of this combination. With 220,000 residents, Fremont is the 4th most populous city in the San Francisco Bay area, and centrally located to serve residents who may work in San Jose to the south or Silicon Valley to the west.

Located south of Hayward, and north of the San Jose Metropolitan area, it serves many needs for many people. Surrounded by mountains and water, the city has preserved much of this very scenic open space for its residents and visitors. In the hills above Fremont is Mission Peak Regional Preserve, and just below is the old Mission San Jose area that includes the historic San Jose Mission, and Ohlone College. The mission, established in 1797, was the 14th of the missions established in Alta California. It offers tours to locals and visitors.
